Guitar Hero Downloadable Song Catalog Going Away Soon

Downloadable songs for Activision's various Hero-branded games -- including Guitar Hero, Band Hero, DJ Hero, and the Guitar Hero mobile game -- will no longer be available for sale after March 31, the company announced today.

Servers for Guitar Hero will remain online, and songs purchased before the content is taken offline will still be playable in April and beyond.

During their final two weeks of availability, select songs will be available at a discount on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii. The mobile game will also have its price slashed until it's taken offline later this month.

Exit Theatre Mode

Rhythm games like Guitar Hero have lost much of their popularity since the late 2000s. The Guitar Hero series was put on ice in 2011, at which time DLC stopped being released for it. Competing franchise Rock Band followed suit by putting an end to its regular DLC releases last year.
